potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service, obtain sensitive
information across domains, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2025-1011,
CVE-2025-1013, CVE-2025-1014, CVE-2025-1016, CVE-2025-1017, CVE-2025-1018,

Ivan Fratric discovered that Firefox did not properly handle XSLT data,
leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. An attacker could potentially
exploit this issue to cause a denial of service, or execute arbitrary code.
